Tamiya 1/35 Challenger 2 (Desertised)

Post by Quax »

This is a Challenger 2 in the markings of HQ Squadron Command Troop, Royal Scots Dragoon Guards (Carabiniers and Greys), 7th Armoured Brigade, Iraq April 2003

The kit is a nice kit to build with no tricks up its sleeve, if you're looking for a modern armour that you dont have to go mad with the chipping but can modulate to your hearts content this is the kit. It also has the plus that you can use the rubber tracks because they are all but invisible!
